Reconstructionism

Reconstructionism (also known as Dominionism) is a political sect of Christianity that seeks to replace democracy with a theocratic elite that would govern by imposing their interpretation of Biblical Law.

Doctrinal leaders call for the death penalty for a wide range of crimes in addition to such contemporary capital crimes as rape, kidnapping, and murder. Death is also the punishment for apostasy, heresy, blasphemy, witchcraft, astrology, adultery, sodomy or homosexuality, incest, striking a parent, incorrigible juvenile delinquency, and, in the case of women, unchastity before marriage.

The Biblically approved methods of execution include burning (at the stake for example), stoning, hanging, and the sword.
